Thanks Seadevil. I sold of a diecast Lunar Rover last year for a ridiculous amount. And used that to buy 8 of the new Dragon Models Apollo kits. They are nice sized and depict a particular mission. They make prepainted versions too, but there is no fun in that!!

Where do you put all your stuff?Also, I don't envy you dusting any shelves!!

The stuff rotates to storage every so often. And the 1/72 Apollos are much smaller than the old stuff I sold. When I dust, I usually just hit the front row of stuff. on the figures. Air duster cans are used for the models.

I just received my JJ Enterprise. This kit does not have a light kit, so it will be back the old ways of coming up with my own lighting system. It is supposed to be 1/500th scale, but it is only 24 inches long. With the supposed length of this new ship, that is way too small. The scale may be closer to 1/1000th! But, I really didn't have room for another oversized ship anyway.

There was a guy setting one up on ebay, but rather expensive. And with lots of soldering...which my eyes don't like so much anymore. I think I will get the LED strips that just plug into jumpers and use those. Then, just a LED flasher for the running lights. I have to do a bit of research for the stobes.

I am really hoping for an aftermarket decal set for the aztec panels on the surface of the ship. Right now, the kit is not easy to get in the US, so there isn't much out there yet.

I just finished my Tamiya 1/100th scale Atlantis model. I added medical tape in tiny squares and strips and scribed tiles on the bottom to represent the TPS on Atlantis. This is a new kit that has an OBSS and MPLM to represent STS-135. I did not try to duplicate tile for tile, but just give a good impression of what the orbiter looks like.

These bottom two are special for me:ModelReal thing
